Black Velvet Lyrics

[00:24.24] Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
[00:29.44] Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high
[00:34.74] Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder
[00:39.94] The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
[00:45.08] The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
[00:50.94] Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
[00:55.71] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[01:01.17] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[01:06.12] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[01:11.52] Black velvet if you please
[01:16.60]
[01:24.64] Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave
[01:30.06] White lightning, bound to drive you wild
[01:35.37] Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
[01:40.69] "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
[01:45.98] The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
[01:51.52] Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
[01:56.52] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[02:01.78] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[02:06.68] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[02:12.30] Black velvet if you please
[02:17.95]
[02:20.00] Every word of every song that he sang was for you
[02:27.13]
[02:30.56] In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon
[02:38.83] What could you do?
[02:43.98]
[03:02.26] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[03:07.52] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[03:12.65] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:17.95] Black velvet if you please
[03:23.38] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[03:28.57] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[03:33.66] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:39.27] Black velvet if you please
[03:48.49]
[03:53.96] If you please
[03:57.58]
[04:05.02] If you please
[04:11.35]
[04:14.91] If you please
[04:17.74]
